I don't know which battery is used on the Southwind, but the instructions say that the engine must be running and the parking brake set to move jacks and slideouts. Engine running seems a no-brainer. If hooked to nothing, the batts put out 12.xV, if hooked to shore power or generator, the voltage is 13.6V, if engine is running the voltage is 14.2V. Which seems better for running 12V high load stuff?
